[edit] Albright Case

Why is the Andrea Albright case even mentioned in the wikipedia article for the mall?

The accident occured in the JC Penny store, not in the mall proper. It involved a grown woman somehow wedging her head into a pinch point between a wall and a moving escalator -- while this is a horrible freak accident and a tragedy, the fact remains that no reasonable person employing basic common sense could have incurred that injury in the course of using the escalator. It's notable only for its weirdness, and the fact that the family somehow believed that others should compensate them for their loss.

It's a disservice to put that in the opening section, along with the most basic information about the mall; if it's included at all, it should be in a section for related news articles. Knowing that some idiot got her head stuck while riding an escalator is hardly basic information about a shopping mall. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.188.197.146 (talk • contribs)

I kinda agree - I don't see why it is here. — RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib} 14:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nostalgia

I used to use the very clock in the picture to see how long I had to mess around in the mall until I had to catch the bus. Good times. Lots42 06:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bizarre film

I seem to remember some 'shown in schools learning film' being based out of Columbia Mall. At least part of it because I remember seeing footage of the McDonalds on the second floor (which, sadly, went away by the time I started haunting the mall). If this movie is ever found, it should be put in the article.

And I know it's original research but there's this one store in the mall that keeps changing over, it's a new business every six months. WEIRD. Lots42 (talk) 16:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
